2. Kick off 2010 with the New Year’s Parade 1/1/10
Brush off the hangover and head downtown for the Come
rica Bank New Year’s Parade to start the New Year off right. As a precursor celebration to the Cotton Bowl, the parade will star the Oklahoma State Cowboy Marching Band, Ole Miss’s Rebel Marching Band, and the cheerleaders from both schools. As usual, the parade will also feature the world famous Kilgore Rangerettes as well as 35 high school bands and drill teams from across the country that have been invited to participate in the AT&T Cotton Bowl Music Festival. There will also be many floats to view.
The parade starts in the Dallas Art District, and will conclude in Victory Park, next to American Airlines Center.
Sophisticated Nightlife at G Lounge
See and be seen, get your groove on, hit the do-it fluid: whatever your M.O. for the weekend is, G Lounge will do more than satisfy. G Lounge presents you with sophisticated nightlife – one part club, one part lounge, this hotspot gives you options. You can cozy up to the new cutie you
met in the VIP lounge or dance the night away with your posse to the themed evening beats.
G does many special events (the New Year’s Bash always sells out) and does so with a style that’s hard to find in any city. For a more relaxed atmosphere, visit during the week for “Speak Easy Tuesdays,” where dress is casual and the DJ integrates live bands into their sets. Then get ready to dress up and get down on weekends, where the beautiful people come out to play and celebs are often spotted like Jamie Foxx, Rihanna, Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies players.
The drinks are cool, the staff is hot, and the crowd is ready to go – it’s everything you could want for a night out.
Eat Chic at Cafe des Architectes
Nestled in a perfect Gold Coast locale, the Sofitel Hotel is a hubbub of activity: business people staying, cool locals hanging, and enough gorgeous French people to star in a Sophia Coppola film. Within the hotel lies the delicious Cafe des Architectes with its partner bar, the aptly named Le Bar.
No matter the day or time, people watching here is like eating candy: sweet and energizing. But of course, the people are here for the cuisine. After all, the chef, Martial Noguier was a semifinalist in the James Beard Best Chef of 2009 competition! He will also be starring in his television debut on the upcoming Glutton for Punishment on the Food Network.
His culinary skills have also lent a hand in making Cafe des Architectes a hotspot for Christmas and NYE dining. The five-course menu starts at $89 and goes up to $160 with wine pairings. From short rib tortellini to veal strips and center cut tuna – you will actually need and want to save room for executive pastry chef Suzanne Imaz’s delectable creations like the white chocolate coconut mousse!
Year round this cozy-chic eatery remains a hotspot for food, drinks and gorgeous patrons serving brunch, lunch, dinner and the worker-friendly executive 30-minute lunch. Merci Noguier!
